Do I Need Braces To Rectify My Jaw Alignment Problem Or Some Other Treatment?

Thursday, April 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I hope that you can give me a helpful answer to my problem. Recently, I noticed that my lower jaw set are slightly shifting and coming in front of my top teeth. It irritates me while I’m eating or even smiling. Do I need to have braces so that the problem can be rectified or is it my jaw that is moving and not the teeth? I’m really concerned about the problem as I want it to be fixed soon. Please make me aware of the rectifying method. Is that is it my jaw that is moving? Or is it my teeth? Can it be treated, right? Thank you for your time.

I Would Like to Know If I Can Still Get Braces Even Though I Have Missing Teeth?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I hope you can help me with a problem I have. I’m curious to know if I can wear braces even if I have an incomplete set of teeth. In my upper part I don’t have a second molar and a first premolar and in lower part I don’t have my second molar? My teeth seem to be separating from each other. I want to know because I’m set to visit my dentist and I want to know if it’s worth asking for braces. I just need to know first so that if it’s impossible I will not go to my dentist. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply.

Will My Braces Need To Be Removed Prior To My Surgery?

Thursday, January 30th, 2014
Q.

Hi, Andrew, I’ve just had the Damon braces fitted and I am due to have an operation soon which I’m being put to sleep for and staying in hospital for one night. My question is, will the hospital still do my operation with the braces on? If not, will my orthodontist remove them prior to having the operation then put them back on after it? I’m really worried about this and would be grateful if you could help me as I hope I can still have the operation and not have to wait until I have finished my full treatment with the braces as I could have them on a year or more. Thank you.

I Am Experiencing Movement Of My Teeth After Orthodontic Treatment, Should I Contact My Orthodontist?

Tuesday, August 13th, 2013
Q.

Dr Butt, despite retaining my teeth after recent orthodontic treatment, I have noticed that my bite has shifted and is wearing down the molar enamel surfaces of the teeth as they are looking more yellow and worn. I feel my front teeth have moved inwards slightly, which has caused the bite to shift. This has given me reason to worry that the new uncomfortable bite that I am experiencing is wearing my lovely teeth down by the day, as I can feel them knocking each other. Should I consult my orthodontist, who made my retainers, about it or is this something that will rectify itself? When I wear my retainer the bite stabilises but when I take it out it shifts and is scraping the teeth. I hope that you can help me with this problem. Thanks.

Can A Missing Tooth Cause A Change To The Bite?

Wednesday, July 31st, 2013
Q.

Dr Butt, can a missing tooth cause a change to the bite? My right canine has been missing for 10 years but for the last 2 months my bite doesn’t feel right, I cannot chew properly and I fear the enamel on my molars is wearing. I wear a nightly Essix retainer to maintain the space and the denture in the day so I do not understand why this is happening. Should I consult my orthodontist about it as it is really worrying me? I’m not sure what I should do, I don’t know if this is truly happening and I just don’t understand why this is happening now when everything has been fine over the last 10 years. Can hormonal changes cause this? I’ve always taken care of my teeth, I just don’t understand. Thank you for any advice, many thanks again.

How Much Would It Cost To Straighten Just Two Teeth?

Thursday, July 18th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I was hoping that you could give me a little bit of advice. The bottom part of my teeth are fairly straight but straight as it should be and the top part of my mouth 1 tooth is too far back and the other and too in front neither are not in line with the rest of my tooth and because of this I hate smiling and I am always conscience when I have to smile or someone seeing me smile. How much would it cost to get both bottom and top part of my teeth to be straight in line with each other and also for them to be cleaned? Thanks for your help.

I Had My Braces Removed After 2 Years And Nothing Has Changed, What Should I Do Now?

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hi Doctor Hughes, I wondered if you could advise me on something? I just had braces to hide the fact that my jaw was slightly to the right and I had an over bite. I had them on for 2 years and I just had them taken off and to be totally honest I am really not happy with the end result, you can still clearly see my teeth are not in line. It looks as if only one of my teeth meet at the front which is even more irritating than before. I’d like to know if I could still get the surgery even after having braces to try and hide it? I don’t know what else to do, I feel so disappointed. I haven’t been given a retainer or anything. I just don’t understand. Thank you for any help in advance, any other suggestions are welcome.

I’m 15 And Hate My Gums But I Also Hate The Dentist, What Can I Do To Improve Their Appearance?

Thursday, June 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi! I was wondering if you could just provide me with a small bit of advice? I have a very gummy smile and I think that gum contouring would be perfect for me. I have a problem though, i hate the dentist I feel physically sick when going to the dentist. I have hated it for years and this is the only thing that is stoping me from thinking about this option. Would it be possible for me to have a general anaesthetic I’m hospital for the surgery?? I’m only 15 and would it still be possible for me to have it or would I have to be over a certain age.Thank you for your help!

How Can I Close Up The Gap Between My Front Teeth?

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hello! I am fifteen, and over the last half a year I’ve noticed a gap widening between my two front teeth. It is not too wide, but wide enough to be noticeable. I had this stupid way of drinking which involved me sucking drink through my front teeth. could this be the source of the gap? Also, to be honest with you my brushing routine is not as thorough as I’d like it to be. I know this is my fault and is something that I will work on. With the gap though, could this be a sign of something bad? If not, how can I stop the gap from widening? Sorry for the hassle!
Thank you.

Would It Be Risky For Me To Get Braces?

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi. I am a 34 yr old male considering invisalign for my top and bottom teeth. I am wondering if any dentist who is trained can do the job or if it is preferable to see an orthodontiist? Since it is computer generated, it seems fool proof. However I know someone who has had quite a bad experience with a dentist recently and they were having braces done to straighten teeth. it doesn’t really strike me as the kind of thing that one can mess up. Obviously I don’t know about these treatments though, it’s just that I hadn’t really heard of braces being a source of bad news from a dentist. It always has seemed like the safest treatment that they can offer you in my mind. I suppose on of my questions would be, is there any chance that my teeth can be realigned incorrectly by a dentist? And, also I am wondering if invisalign, clear correct and simpli5 are comparable products? Thank you.
